    Following last week’s deadly Paris attacks and numerous other violent incidents perpetrated by the terror group ISIS, many governments and populations worldwide are wondering how we can eliminate this threat. Here are some strategies to defeat the Islamic State:

    • Publish a long-form article detailing the challenges involved in fighting an enemy that does not value human life
    • Refuse to appear terrorized by this constant, worldwide threat of violence and death
    • Organize a coup, leaving the U.S. free to prop up the ISIS leader of their choice
    • Spend $1.7 trillion
    • Attempt to compromise with our adversary by meeting them halfway on their demand to spill the blood of all apostates
    • Stop flow of new ISIS recruits from West by encouraging disaffected youth to join violent extremist groups back home
    • Maybe draw them out to sea?
    • Simply coordinate with our allies on a comprehensive strategy that targets ISIS militants while limiting civilian casualties, while simultaneously addressing the longstanding socioeconomic struggles that drive young Arab men to embrace radicalism, reaching out to liberal and moderate factions within Syria, and addressing our own prejudices that galvanize support for terror around the Islamic world
    • Train and arm somebody else’s kids to go over there and shoot them

    ...or, cease your continuous imperial quest and quasi-colonial imperative and manufacturing enemies that really don't exist. Promoting ideals of perpetual war for perpetual peace.

    Have to wonder if you folks truly know who the bad guys really are, all the while continue to exist within your illusions of superiority.

    Shall we try another one?

    How Refugees Are Admitted Into The U.S.

    The United States’ effort to accept Syrian refugees seeking asylum has been the subject of much controversy over security concerns and the rigor of the vetting process. Here are the steps involved in a refugee’s arrival in America:

    Step 1: Filled-out refugee application materials thrown onto large, unorganized pile of folders on desk at United States immigration headquarters
    Step 2: Applicants shown pictures of various U.S. landmarks and asked how violent they make them feel
    Step 3: Nonrefundable $45 credit check fee
    Step 4: Find safe place to wait out gunfire for next two years while application is processed
    Step 5: Tracking chips inserted into refugees’ forearms
    Step 6: Cry softly
    Step 7: Often regarded as the most arduous step of the process, refugees must successfully elicit some level of sympathy from the American populace
    Step 8: Age another year
    Step 9: Legally accepted refugees inserted onto list to receive government benefits, directly ahead of all of nation’s veterans
    Step 10: Accept grim but very real possibility of life in Billings, MT
    Step 11: Refugees given list of mosques under government watch they are allowed to attend
    Step 12: Enjoy full rights and privileges of something called “Adjust Status”
    Step 13: Fully assimilate by denying sanctuary to future waves of refugees from another part of the world

    Your behind the curve again harry, from a horses mouth:

    "In an interview on PBS' Charlie Rose on Tuesday, Rose pointed out that before the terrorist attacks in Paris, the U.S. had not bombed ISIS-controlled oil tankers, to which the former CIA deputy director Michael Morell responded that Barack Obama didn’t order the bombing of ISIS’s oil transportation infrastructure until recently because he was concerned about environmental damage."

    They are having regrets about Agent Orange in Vietnam, DU in Iraq, mind altering drugs in the water supply in Portland etc. them environmentalists are the ones to worry about.

    ^ it was supposed to be filmed near kobane. Btw they also pointed one finger to the sky. Its undeniable now, given what morell has said, that the usa has been complicit in allowing the islamic state to remain finacially solvent. Basically the usa and its allies are funding isis to the tune of hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars a year.

    So the usa claims it is 'fighting' isis but reality it has been funding and arming that 'terrorist state', cause of the 'environment'

    Well oblshblah did say that global warming is a bigger threat than terrorism so it all makes sense to him somehow.

    Who needs the onion when reality is like a parody, its sureal.

    Are you suggesting there is a difference? They are both armed, trained, patched up and directed by the crusader coalition to fight against the duly elected Syrian Government. You know like butchering the Government officials trying to exert Syrian law and order.

    Which one is being labelled as the "Bad, moderate or good terrorists" this week. The MSM changes their name tags by the day harry.

    Good Grief yet again . . . a 'red' from longway with the remarks:
    (No problem with the red, just the remarks are . . . well . . . idiotic)

    I pointed out the region was kobane and the gesture is common to isis fighters. If you have a point make it in the post, or are you too scared to actually make your pont in public?
    Yes, I am frightened to post on this forum, clearly.

    Your ridiculous conclusion that these must be ISIS members because it is common for them to raise a finger to the heavens does speak volumes about how conjecture forms the basis of your conclusions and ideas in general.

    Here are more examples of how to spot ISIS members:













    . . . last but not least, the ultimate identifying bumper sticker



    ISIS . . . they're everywhere and out in the open.

    longway has found out their secret code

    ^ Mrs dull

    i never said it was secret code you numpty. and as ever she partially deletes what i wrote, i pointed out that I never claimed it was proof, but the region and the gesture are certainly in congruence with the idea that they are isis fighers.

    why is she too frighted to ever fully quote what i say? its just trolling.

    http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articl...-sends-message

    For followers of ISIS, a single raised index finger has become a sign of their cause, and it is increasingly common in photographs of militants. Some have even gone so far as to call the symbol “the jihadi equivalent of a gang sign.”
    if you have a point just make it, dont be snide and bitchy, or maker a huge fanfare about nothing. its just a red, the first i have given you, get over it.

    Speculation on how 3+ countries in the ME will cope if oil prices in th emid-$20s and ISIS.

    Oil Plunge Raises Fears of Societal Unrest

    By Elizabeth MacDonald
    November 30, 2015

    Street shops like Goldman Sachs (GS) and government officials in Venezuela signaling oil could go to the mid-$20 per barrel range next year, analysts at places like RBC Capital Markets have been warning that chronically low oil prices plunging towards seven-year lows means increasing social chaos in countries on the edge—including those battling ISIS.

    Five countries are high on the radar screen for societal risks from low oil prices, which RBC Capital Markets has labeled the “Fragile Five.” They are Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, and Venezuela. ISIS operatives are believed to be in most of these countries.

    The wealthier Gulf State governments can adapt to low oil prices by borrowing in the bond market or raising taxes and cutting government spending, though the latter risks more social unrest. Already, the United Arab Emirates pulled fuel subsidies and is mulling corporate and sales taxes. Still, OPEC member countries have seen their group’s revenues drop by nearly $500 billion in the past year, as oil has plunged more than 40%.
